Not sure what this is! Just opened up today
It's Lily Time II
Hi GrowHappy,
It is an Orienpet, or Oriental/Trumpet hybrid. I agree - it is much prettier than I thought it would be. It is in the same family as Silk Road, Conca d'Or, Satisfaction, and Futura - they are all OT's as well. I grow them because they are much tougher than Orientals and have great heat tolerance and seem to perennialize well.
That's great Steve, but I'll bet it doesn't begin to compare to seeing them in person. What a site that must be!
The little coral bells are sweet. Bigger is not always better!
Nope, not Snow Queen. SQ has a more classic trumpet shape and blooms outfacing, not upward facing. That is really a lovely bloom. I'd like to know what it is.
I like the lilies combined with the Amaryllis, jlmmkm...they look nice together.
This is a new one for me called Spring Pink from van Bourgondien's. I'm disappointed in the size of it. It is suppose to be 24-30" tall and is maybe 14" and the blooms are very small. 3" maybe. It is also suppose to have a tiny purple edge which I sure can't see. Maybe it will take a year or two to grow up and show what it can do. Cute anyway. It's a double Asiatic.
Pencil, a graphite pencil is the permanent marker.
